THEORY OF OPERATION
Top Sensor
Bottom Sensor
The AccuBake Duo system, which will be used
on Whirlpool “Gold Series” models, uses a
second temperature sensor to provide a more
uni orm temperature distribution throughout
the oven cavity. The AccuBake Duo system
uses two electronic temperature sensors in-
side the oven cavity to help control tempera-
tures, but the sensors work independently to
provide proper heat at the top and at the bottom
o the oven cavity. The top sensor controls
temperatures at the top o the oven cavity, and
controls the operation o the top (broil) ele-
ment. The bottom sensor controls the opera-
tion o the bottom (bake) element. By using two
independent sensors, the temperature within
the oven is more evenly distributed.
For servicing the system, it is important to know
that neither o the oven elements are on at the
same time, except during preheat in the elec-
tric oven. During that time, the bake element is
on or one hundred percent (100%) o the time,
and the broil element is on or thirty-three
percent (33%) o the time. During preheat on
gas models, the bake burner is on or one
hundred percent (100%) o the time.
Both AccuBake and AccuBake Duo cooking
systems will be used on K-line reestanding
gas and electric sel -cleaning ranges. The
changes between the AccuBake and AccuBake
Duo systems, (re er to the illustration below),
include the addition o a second temperature
sensor within the oven cavity, and so tware
changes to the electronic oven control.
The AccuBake system has been available on
ranges since 1996. It used a temperature sen-
sor and an electronic oven control to monitor
and maintain even heat throughout the cook-
ing cycle. The system created a cooking envi-
ronment that could evenly cook a variety o
oods with very consistent results. The
AccuBake system used one temperature sen-
sor to monitor temperatures throughout the
oven cavity, and cycle both the bake and broil
elements on at predetermined times during the
cycle. The bake and broil elements work simul-
taneously to maintain proper heat.

RE ULAR BAKE CYCLE
During Regular Bake, the bake element is the
main source o heat in the oven, and will remain
on until the lower sensor is satis ied. In the
AccuBake system, the bake and broil elements
are programmed to operate or a de ined per-
centage o time during each one minute cycle.
In the AccuBake Duo system, the bake ele-
ment is on or 24 seconds out o every minute,
and the broil element will cycle or 10 seconds
out o every minute. I the bake element is
operating, the broil element will remain o until
the bake element cycles o .

CHOICE BAKE
The Choice Bake cycle turns the top sensor o
to eliminate top heat in the oven. The Choice
Bake eature is not available during the Broil
mode.
The cooking results on an AccuBake Duo gas
range will be noticeably di erent than on any
previously manu actured gas range, due to an
added top heat eature.
The broil element will not cycle on, even though
it may sense cooler temperatures, until the
lower element has cycled o .
NOTE: During a normal 350° Bake cycle, the
top element may not turn on or 5 minutes, or
until the top sensor calls or heat.
WARM
The Warm eature de aults the oven to a “keep
warm” condition a ter a cooking cycle. The
de ault temperature is 170°, but can be pro-
grammed or 100° to 200°. The Warm eature
is independent and does not need to be pro-
grammed with a cooking cycle. It can be pro-
grammed at any time.

The AccuSimmer element is located at the le t
ront position o the cooktop. The burner uses
a dual element with a 1600 watt inner coil, and
an 800 watt outer coil.
The controls (in inite switch and AccuSimmer
switch) or the element are both located on the
le t side o the control panel, as shown above.
The in inite switch or the AccuSimmer is di er-
ent than the other in inite switches, because o

the “DUAL” or “SINGLE” position. The illustra-
tions below show the internal circuitry or the
switch.
The two coils can be activated individually or
together, depending on the setting o the in i-
nite switch. During AccuSimmer, the coils can
also be activated individually or together, but
are used across a 120 VAC circuit.

During the AccuSimmer cycle, 120 VAC is
activated across the element(s). This reduc-
tion o voltage is achieved by use o the
AccuSimmer switch. The switch has two posi-
tions: Normal and AccuSimmer. There are two
internal contacts inside the switch, as shown
below. The Normal position provides a circuit
rom L1 to L2 to create 240 VAC or the normal
burner (both coils o the element). The
AccuSimmer position provides a circuit rom
L1 to neutral or 120 VAC.
